Ok, been doing a TON of welding in the trunk, wheel wells, got both quarters tacked on,
rear end finally bolted in.. Pushed it out to clean the garage, and snapped a few pics.. Finally looking like I am getting somewhere.

Need a bumper and trunk lid and the back will be about done!









and a quick photoshop where I would like it to sit once the engine and interior are in it.

Ok..... It's been a year and a half since I have touched this. Needed the space in the garage for a handful of other builds.

Just got the garage opened up again, and am thinking of pushing this one back in and seeing how it everything held up being outside under the cover.. Might get rolling on it again next.

Ok, back in the garage..

When I look at the floors of the Mustang,
I can't help but recall the lyrics...

"Lets ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet"

Yabba Dabba Doo anyone?

Anyway, My name is not Fred, and these floors have to go...
(Have I mentioned that this car should have been scrapped?)
Ordered 2 full sides today. Stay tuned.

While waiting on my floors, I worked on the trunk floor a little more, almost finished there, and tacked the top seam of one of the rear quarters.
going to see if I can get both these quarters buttoned up before the floors get here. I also ordered a spotweld cutter so I can remove the cowl and clean up under there.

Not much, but it is progress.

Ran home at lunch and finished up this side.
Need to run out and grab some little 2" and 3" disks and knock this weld down and blend it. Then it's on to the other side.

Both quarters are fully welded now and I worked on the Mustang a bit today.

Got the trunk done finally, just need to put on some seam sealer and I can finish it off.

After that I started on the drivers side floor. Just started rough cutting and used up my last cut off wheel.
Guess that is a good place to stop for the day. Stuck the new floor over the hole.. going to be so much better!!
